Summary: Don't Name Your Baby
Review: A very witty book. Makes you laugh when you think of all the problems with naming a baby. Relatively speaking, this book cracks me up. If you get insulted by the comments by your name, they are probably true.

The author even gives his kids great names, pound and pi. That's grand.

No one's safe, so just enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Amusing!
Review: David Narter boldy goes where no baby-book author has gone before by using his tell-it-like-it-is original commentary and by pointing out the unsaid yet obvious connations of many popular names.

Special segments like the "Mini-Van Hierarchy" spice up the already humorous dictionary of names. This book is well worth the money for the laughs and, even if you don't want to admit it, the inevitable truth is that most of it is true...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Acutely Entertaining!
Review: David Narter's Don't Name Your Baby is fabulous!! Creative, witty, hillarious! Narter's comic genius shines through in this guide of what not to name your baby - a must for every baby shower!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very original!
Review: Don't Name Your Baby has to be the funniest book I have ever read. It sheds some light and humor on a decision that many parents stress about for months. This book is not only creative, but downright hilarious and should be a gift at every baby shower. I cannot wait to see what David Narter comes out with next.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Possibly the WORST attempt at humorous writing I have read
Review: I bought a copy of "Don't Name Your Baby" after reading a positive review of it in the Sun Times. I was extremely disappointed to see how poorly written it was. The author's idea of being funny is to put an "R" in front of names that start with an "A" (i.e. Agatha = Ragatha, Agnes = Ragnes).

He states that the name Steven/Stephen implies an obvious lack of talent and sites Stephen King as one of his examples. Stephen King's 8th grade writing essays are Nobel Prize winners compared.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't Name Your Baby is funny and intresting
Review: I had a chance to read this book and I think my two favorite parts are "The Mini-Van Hierarchy" and "The Suggestions to Name your baby." I especially like the way David Narter can fit a stero-type to each person to their name. It is a must read, that makes you think before you name your child.

Summary: What the world needed to hear
Review: I have only read the first half (girl names) and I couldn't believe how stupid this book was. It has it's funny parts and it's parts that are true, but most of his ideas were more than a little on the dumb side. Totally disappointing.

Summary: Why you shouldn't buy this book
Review: I liked this book, but I wouldn't buy it. It's a good library while your little trailor park princess is at story hour (You must read the book to understand.). I personally don't think my name sounds like a dog's sneeze and I thought that the vowel sound names being changed to a non-vowel name (anna to bananna or like already mentioned agatha to ragatha) were overly childish. There are some extremely funny parts, like the whole princess and her daycare court, but some parts are, well, annoying. It HAS helped me in deciding a name for a girl child. Sanskrit for self-control: Damyata.
